Do you have an example? YT captions being useless is a common trope I keep seeing on reddit that is not reflected in my experience at all. Feels like another "omg so bad" hyperbole that people just dogpile on, but would love to be proven wrong.
- meatmanek 11mo agoCaptions seem to have been updated sometime between 7 and 15 months ago. Here's a reddit post from 7 months ago noticing the update: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1kd9210/autocaptions_got_an_update/ https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1kd9210/autocaptio... and here's Jeff Geerling 15 months ago showing how to use Whisper to make dramatically better captions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1M9NOtusM8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1M9NOtusM8 I assume Google has finally put some of their multimodal LLM work to good use. Before that, they were embarrassingly bad.
- Kiro 11mo agoInteresting. I wonder if people saying that they are useless base it on experiences before that and have had them turned off since.
